Support of Military Families Award

For more than 45 years, the National Military Family Association has kept the concerns and needs of military families at the forefront of all that we do. We are committed to strengthening and protecting the families of the men and women currently serving, retired, wounded, or fallen. Since 1984, we have celebrated those who have joined us in our mission. The Support of Military Families Award honors those individuals and organizations that through their own work or leadership have made changes that positively affect the lives of America’s military families around the globe.
